Urban Warzone Paintball

Paintball guns release color pellets with excellent precision, making them the tool of choice for artists refurbishing the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling. Unleash rapid-fire creativity with today’s Groupon to Urban Warzone Paintball. Choose between the following options:

For $19, you get a paintball outing for two (up to a $75 total value) that includes the following:

Houston’s skyline looms over Urban Warzone’s downtown field, framing a detritus-strewn paintball arena where players skulk and snipe gear-clad combatants. Under the watchful eyes of referees and sentient corporate executives in skyscraping offices, players can paint the entire town or a single disliked opponent red with a semi-automated spray of paintballs. As battlers ages 11 and up duck behind corrugated tubes and wooden bunkers, paintballs zip through the air, splattering the ramparts or leaving Rorschach blots on players’ armor. Multiple games start every hour, each of which has a dedicated host catering to the needs of private parties or scheduled events. Games end when paintballs run out, meaning that the duration of each match hinges on how trigger-happy the players are. Although paintballs, like cupid’s arrows, are nontoxic, nonstaining, and virtually harmless, players should wear clothing that can get dirty and avoid such items as sandals, short shorts, and silk waistcoats. A covered picnic area shields onlookers from elements and provides an excellent venue for spectating or snacking.

The course is closed Monday through Thursday.

Though Urban Warzone Paintball sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Houston's skyline looms over Urban Warzone’s downtown field, which recently grew in size due to a land purchase, framing a detritus-strewn paintball arena where players skulk and snipe gear-clad combatants. Under the watchful eyes of referees and sentient corporate executives in skyscraping offices, players can paint the entire town or a single disliked opponent with semi-automated sprays of paintballs. As battlers duck behind corrugated tubes and wooden bunkers, paintballs zip through the air, splattering the ramparts or leaving Rorschach blots on players' armor.

To create a personalized experience, each game has a dedicated host catering to the needs of private parties or scheduled events. Elsewhere, a covered picnic area shields onlookers from elements and provides an excellent venue for spectating or snacking.
